Review Quotes:
"Meena Alexander's imagination thrives in the active cross-fertilization of cultures and genres. In this collection we are privy to the full and variegated display of her poetry." --Marilyn Chin
"The river and the bridge are ultimately the same. Just as New York City and Delhi merge in the body and imagination of a woman making poetry near the end of an age, Meena Alexander eloquently leads to the conclusion of this fine collection with: 'There is no grief like this / the origin of lanscape is mercy.' These poems are the journey we take with her to know this, utterly." --Joy Harjo
"Meena Alexander is one of the finest Indian poets writing today." --Keki N. Daruwalla
"The next time someone suggests poetry cannot honestly deal with the real news of the world I will raise the name of Meena Alexander and this fine book like a flag--or a prayer." --Cornelius Eady
